The folly as well as DANCE, OF
overestimating 80 prevalent among
southern farmers and agents of agri-
cultural bureaus, is thus accurately
depicted by our worthy contempora-
ry, the Arkansas Press:
"The cotton market is still suffer
ing from the effect OF the July over
estimate of the crop. There is no
accounting for the crop in that
month. 1t may promise much and,
on account OF an unfavorable Au-
gust, yield little, or 1t may promise
little and yield much; yet the esti-
mate for the month almost fixes the
price of the crop. This year it prom
ised more than the crop will yield,
and buyers will refnse to believe
that the unprecedented receipts are
the premature result OF drouth I'M
til the crop is marketed. The short
age will be revealed, but too late for
the grower to receive the benefit OF
advanced prices. Unfortunately, he
is poor, often in debt, and unable TO
hold it, and others reap the benefit.

The Dissenting knights.

st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The disintegration of the Knights
of Labor has assumed the aspect oil
an open and systematic secession on
the part of the anti Powderly mem.
bers of the order. 1t cannot be def
nitely known how formidable the
movement is; but there is good rea
son to believe that it indicates a
sentiment OF positive dissatisfaction
in all the States where the organi.
cation has pronounced strength and
influence. The reason upon which
the act of secession Is based, as set
forth IN the circular of the seceders,
are twenty in number; but they all
relate more or less to an alleged
conspiracy for the purpose of hold
ing the salarled offices and manipu-
latiDg the funds of the order. In
other words: 1t is charged that Mr..
Powderly and his associates are us
ing their Official power and opportu-
nifty not for the promotion of the in
terests of the working people, but
for the advancement of their own
fortunes. The general Office is no
longer "the Jerusalem of the honest
knight" we are graphically assured,
but Luxurious haunt" for persons
who are seeking only personal profit,
pecuniary and otherwise. In spite
OF decrease of membership amount
